Quarterbacks dominate the list, put together by SponsorUnited.
While college football players may be natural choices for NIL deals, a few college soccer stars are topping 1 million TikTok followers, and some volleyball and field hockey players are scoring high engagement, according to NIL platform Out2Win.
JuJu Watkins and RJ Davis, both basketball players, topped the lists of women and men athletes with the most brand partnerships, according to SponsorUnited.
Brand execs are finding no shortage of on- and off-court talent for campaigns, and “we’d love to sign everybody,” one exec said.
That marks a shift from last year, when NIL deals skewed more toward men than women athletes, according to SponsorUnited.
In addition to breaking records on the court, Clark is also dazzling her sponsors. “She’s jump-started a new era of basketball,” a Gatorade exec said.
